Why Lisbon?

A capital like no other

Lisbon really does have it all. A city of contrasts, it’s a global capital that still somehow feels like a village; a connected hub that still has a relaxed pace of life; a modern metropolis that is also rich with history as one of the oldest cities in the world.

There’s year-round sun, with warm summers and mild winters and plenty of natural beauty right by the city, from the Atlantic coastline to the Sintra Mountains and Tagus estuary with its amazing birdlife.

For culture lovers, there’s fabulous heritage to discover, like the iconic Tower of Belém, as well as a huge range of artistic venues, from The National Museum of Contemporary Art in the city, to the architecturally stunning Paula Rego Museum, a little further along the coast.

A great ecosystem for remote workers

There’s a reason why Lisbon often tops the rankings of the world’s best remote-work-friendly destinations, in fact there are many. Long-term visitors can expect a great quality of life with reasonable living costs, making the city more accessible than some other capitals. Portugal has also rolled out a specific visa for ‘digital nomads’, making it more simple than ever to join Lisbon’s thriving community of skilled workers and creatives from all over the world.

The city is easy to access from across the globe thanks to Lisbon Airport, which is located only 6 kilometres out of the city centre. Once you’re in town, it’s easy to get around, even without a car, thanks to a great network of public transport.
